Seeing her increasingly gloomy face, I felt a little panicked, but I had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
"This Li Concubine is real, what are you doing here at this time. Princess, let's just pretend she hasn't been here before and continue, okay. Oops! The meat seems to be mushy."
I could smell a mushy smell wafting from the stove next to me, maybe I wasn't paying attention to that just now.
Because he talked too vigorously, he didn't pay attention to the problem of turning the meat on the stove, so some of the meat was burnt to black and gave off a burnt smell.
The princess didn't pay attention to my words, and didn't care about other things, she just stared straight at me and asked:
"Heh, isn't she pretty? Xiran, can you tell me for sure that you haven't seen her alone since we talked last time?"
I didn't know how to answer her at this moment, so I stammered and said:
"Princess, I... listen to my explanation..."
Seeing me hesitating, she couldn't say a word for a long time.
In an instant, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, and he said to me in a very cold tone:
"Very good, you don't need to explain. I can't do it if she hasn't come, you can eat slowly, I am not in the mood."
After that, she turned around and left, no matter what I called her from behind, she couldn't stop her, leaving me alone like a log, I don't know why.
"Oh, what can I do..."
It's true that if I don't cause trouble, the trouble will come to me by myself. Could it be that I have not been going well recently and I shouldn't go out? !
The princess was gone, and I had no desire to eat barbecue by myself, so I had to go back to my room in frustration.
As soon as I entered the room, I collapsed on the bed. I still haven't realized what happened just now.
"Hey, let's go to bed early. She is still angry today, so she will definitely not listen to my explanation. Go and coax her tomorrow, maybe the princess' anger will disappear by then."
Now I can only comfort myself like this.
I stared blankly at the bed curtain, I was so tired that I didn't want to change my clothes, so I just lay on the bed and prepared to put on my clothes and go to sleep.
I knew she was really angry, and I was full of frustration, so I tossed and turned in bed all night with my thoughts on my mind.
Wait until the sky reveals a faint red light.
I barely sat up and opened my sore eyes.
Sleepless all night, tired all over. But when he thought of going to the princess to explain, he hurriedly changed his clothes in the fastest time, washed his face with water, and ran to the princess' residence.
What I didn't expect was that I was stopped by Yuan'er as soon as I walked outside the princess' bedroom.
"Master Song, the princess is still washing inside, please go back."
"Yuan'er, please tell the princess, I really came to apologize."
I was desperate to get in, so I begged her.
But she ignored me, I turned left to avoid her, she blocked me left, I turned right, she also turned right.
"Yuan'er! Just let me go in and see the princess."
"The princess ordered, it's really not good, Mr. Song, you should go back first..."
While we were making a noise outside, the princess came out suddenly.
When Yuan'er saw the princess coming out, she stopped trying to stop me, and quickly walked up to her and said:
"Princess, Mr. Song insists on breaking in, but the slaves can't stop him."
She glanced at Yuan'er first, and then said to me indifferently:
"Okay, I know, Yuan'er, go down first. You, come with me."
She only glanced at me before turning around and entering the room. I was overjoyed, this shows that at least there is still a chance to explain!
I followed her closely until she came to the table and sat down.
I hurried forward to pour her a cup of tea, then stood aside with my head buried, like a child who has done something wrong, waiting for her to speak first.
She saw that I had two huge dark circles under my eyes, and I looked very haggard.
So he opened his mouth and asked me:
"What's the matter with you, you didn't sleep last night?"
"Back to the princess, Xiran made the princess angry. I have something on my mind, so I can't sleep. What happened yesterday is all Xiran's fault, but I can guarantee that Su Yueran and I are indeed not familiar."
I looked into her eyes and said to her vowedly, hoping she could see my sincerity in my eyes.
"Xiran, since we chatted last time, I know that you actually went to see her again, right? Well, I shouldn't be so angry with you yesterday, but I just don't like her like that."
Right now the princess is not as angry as she was yesterday, so after I finished speaking, her tone suddenly softened.
"I know everything about the princess, Xiran just can't figure out one thing, can I ask a question if I want to take the liberty?"
"Just say it."
Seeing that she agreed, I asked the question that had been hidden in my heart for many days.
"Princess, what kind of grievances do you have with Concubine Li Su Yueran? Why are you so angry when you see her?"
She glanced at me, and then slowly told the reason why she had kept it from me for so long.
"Xiran, do you know? In this deep palace, I understand her every move. This Su Yueran is definitely not as simple as you think. Although I don't know the purpose of her approaching the father, there is indeed a conspiracy Yes. But my father doesn’t believe me, and I don’t know who to tell. I don’t want you to get involved or be used by her, so I didn’t tell you, but I just keep you away from her.”
After hearing what the princess said, I was moved, and my mood was very complicated. I instantly refreshed my understanding of Concubine Li. No one in this palace is simple.
I saw that although the princess was no longer angry, she still looked sad, and wanted to make her happy, so I said to her coquettishly:
"Princess, I understand. You have something in your heart that you can share with me. We are the closest people, aren't we? I was wrong to hide it from you last time. I promise you that such a thing will not happen again. Please forgive me. Besides, my Zhen'er is very beautiful when she smiles, but she is not beautiful when she is crying, so give me a smile~"
After she finished listening to me, a little smile appeared on her face, and then she said to me:
"As long as you really listen to me and keep her away, I won't be angry with you anymore. Okay, let's have breakfast together."
After breakfast, a young eunuch passed on the emperor's decree:
Those who don't want to go to the paddock today can arrange their own itinerary, so the princess and I rested in the palace for an afternoon.
Until the evening, a major event happened in the paddock, which alarmed the people in the entire palace.
There are assassins on the hunt to kill the emperor!
The little maid in the palace sent a message back to tell us:
Today, some assassins disguised themselves as imperial guards, and tried to assassinate the emperor when the emperor went down to the forest farm to try shooting.
Fortunately, Wei Qi stayed by the emperor's side all the time and sacrificed his life to block an arrow for the emperor, while the assassin was shot to death by random arrows on the spot.
The emperor, Longyan, was furious and ordered to return to the palace tomorrow to thoroughly investigate the matter.
I was very worried when I heard the news, because I didn't know Wei Qi was here.
Quickly asked the maid: "Do you know where Master Wei is now, and how is his condition? Is it serious? Is there any serious problem?"
The court lady replied to me politely:
"Returning to Master Song, after Master Wei was hit by the arrow, the emperor immediately sent someone to send him to the imperial doctor Wang. The imperial doctor said that the arrow was not poisonous and did not hurt Lord Wei's vitals. It was just a little skin trauma, so he sent People sent Master Wei back, and he is resting in his tent right now."
I was relieved to hear that he was fine, and continued to ask her about the exact location of Wei Qi's camp, and prepared to go there.
The same is true for Wei Qi, who gets injured twice in three days, does he think his life is too long? Why can't he love himself so much!
I was thinking of going to see him right away, but I thought there must be a lot of people going to see him now, so I might as well go later.
Seeing that it was already Xu time, I saw that it was getting late.
Thinking that no one would go to his place again, he brought some medicine from the princess that has a miraculous effect on sword wounds, and was going to see him.
I searched all the way to his tent, and found that he was not there.
At this hour, there are not many people around, he might be nearby, why don't I go and look for him
I got out of the camp and went all the way to the nearby woods.
Walking to a place not far from the tent, I suddenly saw two figures.
However, the moon was dark and the wind was high, so I couldn't see who it was. After I approached them slowly, I could see one of them clearly, and I saw that person said:
"How did you come?"
Hey, isn't this Wei Qi? His tone was a little more serious and calm than usual.
After he finished asking, another person answered him in a hasty and caring tone:
"I've heard about what happened in the paddock today, and I'm worried about your safety. So I came here secretly to see you, don't worry, no one saw me."
The other voice seemed to be a girl. I tried hard to see who that woman was, but she turned her back to me and couldn't see her face clearly. And her voice is very small, so I can't hear it very clearly.
I decided not to go out and continue to listen to it, to see who he and I are here at night to see the stars.
This kid, he didn't even tell me about the situation~
Then Wei Qi said with a sense of blame:
"Don't you know that this is very dangerous for you? Running out rashly may expose us at any time. If you don't be more cautious in your words and deeds, you will be killed at any time. We have waited for so long, and we must not be at this juncture Don’t you understand that it’s a failure?”
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's Yue'er who didn't think carefully, didn't help His Highness, but brought so much trouble to His Highness, it's Yue'er who is useless..."
After saying that, the girl began to sob, and Wei Qi approached her, hugged her into his arms and said to her softly:
"Yue'er, I don't blame you for these things. Success or failure now depends on one stroke. I promised you that after I recover Dayan, I will give you an explanation. You can just stay in that palace for a few more days, okay? "
When he finished speaking, I was too shocked to speak.
Wei Qi turned out to be Prince Dayan? ! The best friend I grew up with turned out to be the orphan of the former dynasty of Yan? !
I didn't even know it all the time, how funny is this? !
What should I do now, pretend I don't know anything and walk away? Or go out and ask him why he kept it from me for so long?
At this moment, I have mixed feelings in my heart.
Is it sad? Still confused? Or is it difficult to accept this fact
Oh, so I don't know anything.
I was at a loss and staggered back a step, but unexpectedly made a noise and was discovered by him.
"Who's there?!"
I saw him let go of the woman in his arms and slowly walking towards me, with a cold light in his eyes.
Seeing that I couldn't hide anymore, I calmly walked out from the dark place.
"Wei Qi, it's me, Xi Ran."
